This image above really shows that this is good-looking game and that the art direction is really above average, that setting just breathes with style and life, from the color-scheme to the people in the backround sitting on the bench talking,the shapes and lighting and depth-off field...this is what makes this game look so good.
This cap is not so flatterin' thoug: http://images.xboxyde.com/gallery/public/5674/1077...
But yeah, once peolpe get their little hand-on with this one, and they start playing it they will know why we all have waited this for so long and why it will be so worth the wait.
In Rockstar I trust.
The framerate is terrible.
The graphics are almost the same like Saints Row's. Just with more grey and brown and other dark colors.
But the trailer itself was very cool ^^

Now tell me if you see ANY texture quality difference between the two. You can't even compare..
looks like the perfect GTA game
sheep? u make it sound like gta is a bad game and people are being fooled into buying it due to marketing and hype.
truth is, the gta series is a GOOD series! revolutionary, in fact. too many games have copied and / or at least borrowed from the gta series.
The first GTA was revolutionary...GTAIII was simply a logical step that didn't do much all that well. I agree that a lot of games do borrow from GTA(though I don't necessarily equate "sandbox game" with "GTA clone")...and most of them are trash as a result.
GTA also spurred the torrent of one of the most annoying criticisms a game can have: "It's too linear!" Well shit..if having a cohesive gameplay experience that has a beginning, middle, and end without the need for tacked-on, playtime-extending side quests is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
Hm, sort of cool. I dislike the hip hop rap look of previous instalments. This is more in the line of movies from 70-ties (Driver, Friends of Eddie Coyle, French connection etc.).
As for you not liking certain urban settings for GTA games, I would say get used to Rockstar bouncing all over the place for more urban story settings. Next time it could be Mexican cartels, Chinese triads, Japanese Yakuza, Armenian, or Vietnamese as central figures.
Gangsters are gangsters, it really doesn't matter who they are
I also agree that GTA is a terrible game if you divide it into little segments. The controls are bad, the visuals (though at GTA3 very pretty) aged super fast with San Andreas looking considerably worse in a lot of ways than Vice City did.
But the thing is, it's also a game that is much more impressive overall than if you look at the different aspects of it. It has a difficult-to-top class about it, with a tongue in cheek approach to everything. A clever sense of self irony, often making fun of itself but not in an annoying way. It's also easy to be fed up with the whole "gangstah" thing that EA went for 100%, but upon closer inspection NONE of the GTAs fall victim to blatant exploitation of the "gangstah" culture, not even San Andreas.
I think if there's a problem with GTA3 then it's that it has very little in the way of emotional investment in your character. He's a total mute and has no sense of direction whatsoever, and while some people are into the whole "giving him personality with your imagination" thing, that always sounded a bit like a bad excuse to me. This was totally adressed in Vice City though, with a proper main character with proper balls. In San Andreas they took the motivation bit even further, and unlike GTA3 there was a much more tangible sense of actually going somewhere whenever you felt that you wanted to be a part of the main plot.
The fact that the controls never once improved over the course of the GTA3 trilogy is something I'll readily agree is pretty scandalous, but at the same time there is something admirable about having a solid foundation and changing the content in such significant ways. Quick cash-in tactics some would suggest, but I personally think it's a much more reasonable way than updating the engine over the course of 2 years and then releasing something virtually identical anyway - without the increase and/or significant change in content. That the controls of GTA3 largely sucked ultimately made for an annoying side-effect, but I think the trade off was worth it.
Saints Row looks better ..much better
Compare this one..

I can even find more.
I don't deny that GTA4 might have a better art STYLE than SR, but techinically speaking, GTA4 aint doing nothing new.
U found the ugliest screen of SR humanly imaginable, then took the only TWO screens in the entire GTA4 trailer that don't look like complete ass, and then expect us to fall for it? Try again.
It's also easy to be fed up with the whole "gangstah" thing ..., but upon closer inspection NONE of the GTAs fall victim to blatant exploitation of the "gangstah" culture, not even San Andreas.

...thug life 4 eva yo. Macavelli R.I.P.
Is it somehow better to play some Italian mobster? A Miami drug lord? All of the GTA games play off of a pretty obvious movie driven theme (up until now).. SA is no exception.
People sure do love to hate themselves some GTA. It's a wonder this franchise is as popular as it is.
First lets look at the 'FACTS'.
It is completly obvious GTA has a huge fanbase, much larger then Halo.
GTAIII / GTA:VC / GTA:SA have all sold almost double that of Halo and Halo2.
Halo 1 : 6~ million
Halo 2 : 7~ million
GTA III: 12~ million
GTA VC: 14~ million
GTA SA: 15~ million
So some of you might think the sequels/newer GTA's might not be as good as the older ones, but a majority of people think different, as you can see in those numbers. If VC was crap compared to III, people wouldn't have bought SA... but more people bought SA.
I know these are numbers, and numbers dont always represent everything... but numbers like these, show a lot.
We all know GTA is known for its amazing gameplay. A gameplay no other GTA type game can match... So whether or not this game has amazing graphics... I can assure you the gameplay will be stunning. With games like GTA, Screenshots dont do it justice, its once you get in and play.
I'm sure there will be many unique features (nongraphically) that Rockstar has up there sleeve in gameplay thatl make us amazed... so wait til you see everything :D
But this is just my opinion slightly based on facts
...WOW, that made me laugh. Did you even play Andreas? or at least see screen shots? San Andreas is the epitome of ''gangstah culture'' homie.
Saint's Row has a good story once you cut through the absolutely insulting exterior, but compared to the way GTA juggles its themes and satirical comments it's just completely ham-fisted.
That's why I hate the idea of character customisation, you'll never get 100% out of the story with things like that. Same goes for missions. Being able to do them in diffrent ways and in a diffrent order, most of the time, is just enough freedom. When you watch a movie you don't choose who plays in it and how the story is told. Such movies would be just horrible, so why is everyone complaining about these things? I play GTA for the story, the gameplay is lacking but it's still a great game. At least they can improve the gameplay, and I'm pretty shure they didn't use the same GTA 3 sheme.
As for the graphics: I take better style over allegendly technical superiority. The video showed me that again. Graphics are not everything, especialy in such a game when there is more weight towards other things, like the story.
Do you guys think this game have good graphics?...i mean i kind of expect Assasins creed type of graphics..is this a bad thing?
only complaint i have about this game is how empty the streets look compared to the last trailer and older screenshots. just take a look at some of the images on this site instead of the trailer and you will see how a lot of the street scenes are empty. it could be taken from a cutscene and cleared the road for it but yeah for a city based on new york it should be packed with cars and people. but thats not a big concern of mine i just want this game bad.

has no place in a next-gen game...
Some of you speak negative about GTA as if your opinion is what most people think... I'll tell you this, its not.
